I answered your post brotha!

Check it out here. Install the v7 win client using wine and then add each gpu.

Quick question
When switching from -bigadv to normal smp all I've got to do is to remove bigadv from the shortcut right?

You have to remove -bigadv and replace it with -advmethods

In the shortcut I now have: -bigadv -smp -verbosity 9
So just change it to: -advmethods -smp -verbosity 9

Correct?

Thanks guys

Just need to monitor the rigs now and see when I'll have to switch them to smp.

What would something like this do for folding? http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-DL580-G2-SERV...item19c545005c

A $600 SB system would spank it.

No. I would love to see your ppd running what you have now, under your own username after the Chimp Challenge.

I plan on building a dedicated machine when CC is over. I have a water cooled GTX 295, but can't decide which cpu to go with.

The Intel i7 980x would be my choice.

Or if you pick up an i7 970 for cheaper, you can still get a good overclock on them

Oily look deeply into his sig.

oily_17 · May 14, 2011, 08:49 AM

I seen that after I posted

....but was trying to get him to add to his Folding farm

EDIT: More machines is always better for TPU

rickss69 · May 14, 2011, 02:15 PM

Thanks guys - I will normally be running only one rig 24/7. Which of the two cpu's would pump out the greatest results...the 980X @ 3.8GHz or a 2600K @ 4.5/4.8GHz?

I say the 2600k due to the energy savings of 8 core vs 12 core with similar PPD.

rickss69 · May 18, 2011, 06:46 AM

In the process of combining hardware atm for a crunching/folding farm. My question: Is it worth messing with the ATI cards (5970; 5870; 5850) for folding vs say a GTX 280 or GTX 260? Plans are for all of the crunching rigs to run folding cards at the same time.

oily_17 · May 18, 2011, 07:27 AM

I would stick with nVidia cards if running them while crunching as you will take less of a hit on the CPU.

I wonder how much you will loose in WCG ppd on the cpu while folding with gpu's? I have thought of doing the same with my crunchers but did not want to see a big performance hit on the cpu's...

oily_17 · May 18, 2011, 07:36 AM

Even though it shows the GPU client only using about 2-3% each in process manager.I would expect anything from 7-10% hit on your CPU.

This is what I usually see when running the GPU client along with SMP on my 970

EDIT: Although I am not sure if WCG would suffer the same from running a GPU Folding client,.

HammerON · May 18, 2011, 07:40 AM

Only way to know for sure is to run WCG w/ out folding on gpu's and see what your WCG ppd is. Then add folding w/ youre gpu's and see what the difference is in WCG ppd.
Let us know how it goes rickss69!

oily_17 · May 18, 2011, 07:42 AM

As Hammer says the only way to know, is to try it out.

I have run both in the past, just never bothered recording figures
